[Kavita] Idea / Feature Submission: QoL Reading List Requests

[LegendaryLass]

Idea Description

Hi! I love that Kavita CBL and reading lists are working so much more smoothly!!! I would like to make a few simple suggestions to make handling a lot of lists better, in order of priority (in my mind):

1. When importing CBLs, add an option to overwrite existing lists with the same name
2. When importing CBLs, add an option to set some of the metadata for reading lists. Primarily I would like to batch import CBLs and set all of them to promote as they're created/overwritten (should suggestion 1 be implemented), but it would also be nice to, say, auto analyze the matched chapters and set the list's date ranges etc
3. Batch selecting on the Reading Lists page works fine, but can we get a "select all"?
4. Since you are implementing dropping leading articles ("The ", "A ", "An " for instance) from sort title, can we get a similar sort title field for reading lists and perform that same adjustment on the title of the CBL during import and stash it there? and then some sorting options on the reading list page using the various metadata?
5. eventually getting reading lists "in progress" and optionally featuring them in the on-deck would be nice too. I suppose that's a general "consider stepping reading lists towards operating like series entities" territory so I get it if that's maybe too much but I do think it's worth considering if way down the line
   Thanks!
